The only complaint I can think of, is the mattress in room 307... You HAVE to replace it. It has a depression in it so bad, that it needed to be leveled with several pillows. I survived but you can't do that to older people. This is a classy old-school B&B type place, within walking distance of Harvard, toss that worn out mattress!

Excellent location. Walkable to many restaurants, museums, universities, and public transportation. Very affordable. Overall good stay. We were on the fourth floor, so carrying bags up the stairs for our three-night stay was difficult. There were no temperature controls in the room. It was very hot. There was a small fan that helped a bit, but quite warm. The in-room facilities were tiny, especially the shower if you are a larger person. I am only five feet tall, and the bathroom was small. The housekeeping ladies were excellent and so sweet. There was a lovely gentleman at the front desk who carried my bags downstairs at the end our stay.
